About Tedx

TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group.

These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized (subject to certain rules and regulations).

Decoding the Ghost Story

In an era of smartphones and bright lights, where the ghost story is being hunted into extinction, I talk about my own life and journey, my successes and failures, and the close bonds my work has always had with the supernatural, and I investigate within myself as well as the form of the ghost story to find why it is so, and what lies ahead.
